No matter how many times a doctor tells you that you need to eat healthier, it does not make things any easier, right? It’s a shame science hasn’t figured out how to make Oreos and pizza the pinnacles of nutrition.

But until then, you can improve your health simply, by integrating more greens into your life. Before you groan and complain about the texture of steamed spinach, bare with us because Pure Planet’s greens are delicious and E A S Y to eat – no cooking necessary.

Read on to hear just how cool our Best of Greens blend, filled with the finest greens from the land and the sea, can be for your health goals!

Organic Cereal Grasses

First on our list is organic cereal grasses, which are made up of:

organic wheatgrass

organic barley grass

organic oat grass

You might have seen some of these grasses pressed into juice in small shot cups. And for good reason, because, they boast a ton of nutrients and antioxidants.

Feeling groggy or hungover? One shot can boost you back into your vibrant life because of all the vitamins and minerals.

Some of these include:

Vitamin A, C and E

Iron

Magnesium

Calcium

Amino Acids

Besides the obvious bonus of weight loss support, these grains can support blood sugar regulation and help reduce obesity!

Alfalfa

It’s not just the name of everyone’s favorite Little Rascals’ characters (NETFLIX IT!), it’s one of our favorite veggies! Like many of its green brethren, this forage legume contains an array of vitamins, minerals and proteins.

But guess what? In addition to naturally supplying these nutrients, alfalfa is also low in calories. Yes!

This herb has been traditionally been used to help improve metabolic health and support antioxidant levels.

And what’s more?

There are studies (a few, admittedly) that tie consumption to lower cholesterol support!

Its juice can easily be added to other juices and mixes, which is why we use it in our Best of Greens.

So, what else is in Best of Greens?

Cruciferous Vegetable Blend

Okay…you might be thinking…what on earth does that word even mean? Simple! Cruciferous refers to plants from the Brassicaceae family. The latin name, Cruciferae, comes from their cross-like shaped flowers.

But enough of the plant-nerd talk (trust us, we could keep going), these veggies are super good for you.

With a low-calorie count, these greens can help provide vitamin support as well. They can also be a good source of fiber, but you probably already knew that.

What you might not know is that these plants are also good sources of folates. Folic acid is a form of vitamin B-9 and helps support significant body functions.

There is also evidence that consumption may lend support to those who suffer from age-related hearing loss.

And one more awesome benefit? They contain phytonutrients that can help promote the body’s response to inflammation.

Here are some of our favorites (organic, of course):

broccoli

cabbage

parsley

kale

dandelion greens

So far, these land greens seem sufficient enough, so why bother with the greens from the sea?

Organic Algae

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Well, SpongeBob, but he’s fictional.

There’s an abundance of REAL life under the sea, besides fish and sea creatures!

Let us introduce you to one of our favorite plants: ALGAE! Okay, wipe that look off your face, because it’s really good for you.

First things first: yes, you should be very safe about where you get edible algae, which is why we are very careful about where and how we harvest ours. Safe practices and healthy living are our goals and that’s how we’ve being stay pure and true since ’92.

So, what can algae do for you?

Just like greens, algae can supply potent doses of vitamins, minerals (and trace minerals) and antioxidants. Their active phytonutrients can help support weight loss, heart health and the body’s response to inflammation.

Spirulina is considered to be a super-nutrient, providing support for such things as blood pressure, weight loss and cleansing.

Plus, it can help provide allergy relief and help alkalize the body.

Chlorella is similar. Interestingly enough, this plant cannot be digested as it naturally appears, so it needs to be grounded into powder or in capsule form. We make sure to do this while maintaining optimal bioavailability and safety.

Like spirulina, this algae can help cleanse the body of metals. Its antioxidants can also help boost the immune system, promote energy and support healthy cholesterol levels.

What other marine plants can be beneficial?

Organic Sea Vegetables

So maybe there aren’t actual pineapples under the sea, but there are cool veggies, like kelp and dulse.

Grown under water, these sea plants can help support a healthy thyroid, with a good source of iodine.

You may be more familiar with kelp, as you might have seen it wash up on shore or drift around at your local beach. Don’t consume that kelp though, because it may have more bacteria and germs from the local environment. You must always ensure your kelp supplement is safely-sourced and clean to consume.

When it is safe, kelp can:

Help prevent bone loss with a strong source of vitamin K

Help the body react to inflammation with antioxidants

Help maintain healthy blood glucose levels and aid with other blood-related symptoms

You may not have heard of dulse, but that’s why we’re here!

Instead of being packed with minerals, dulse is loaded with Omega-3 and Omega-6. These polyunsaturated fatty acids may help blood pressure and proper brain development and function.

Plus, dulse contains protein and Vitamin B-12 (normally found in meat, poultry and dairy), which make it a great asset for a vegan diet!
